If you can dream it, you can do it!!

"Dreams can come true -- if you have the courage to pursue them."

It has been over a month since Shane started the Airman Program here in sunny, San Diego and already he has a new found love and respect for the Coast Guard. With ten more weeks here and five months of AMT "A" school in Elizabeth City, North Carolina... Shane's dream of becoming an Aviation Maintenance Technician... is finally coming true!

They say good things come to those who wait; well in our case we waited over a year for him to be able to change career paths. I encourage Shane to do what makes him happy. Afterall, he wants to make the Coast Guard a career!
